Download DorsanDesk and choose the right version

To get started, go to the DorsanDesk download page and get the version for your operating system. DorsanDesk is available for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android, and it is best to always install the latest version on the site. If you would rather not install anything, the web version also works from the browser with full mouse and keyboard control.

Choose your operating system version

On the download page, choose the version for your device. There are separate versions for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android.

2

Run the app after downloading

After downloading, run the app. The main screen shows the information needed to receive or start a connection.

Check the app version

If you need to state your version when connecting or contacting support, check the app’s version number under About DorsanDesk or at the bottom of the app window.

Secure connection

Desktop ID, temporary password and starting a connection

DorsanDesk uses the device ID and a temporary password to connect. If someone is going to connect to your computer, give the ID and temporary password only to a person you trust. If you want to connect to another computer, enter the other side’s ID and send a connection request.

Device IDThe ID used to identify the host computer; it is shown on the app’s main screen.
Temporary passwordThe connection password must stay confidential and be used only for that session or a trusted person.
Connection requestTo control another computer, enter the target device’s ID and start the connection once it is approved.
DisconnectingWhen you are done, disconnect and, if needed, change the temporary password.
Security tip: Do not send your ID, temporary password or account details over public channels. For remote support, only connect with a person or team you trust.

Server selection

Public, professional and business servers compared

DorsanDesk has several types of servers so users can choose the right option based on their type of use, the quality they need and their organization’s requirements. Choosing the right server can affect the connection experience, stability and the quality of remote work.

Public server

Suited to basic, free use, and can be used to get started after registering and signing in.

Professional server

Suited to users who need a more stable connection, a better experience and more serious use of remote desktop.

Business server

Suited to enterprise scenarios, more specific needs and customized use.

Important note on connection quality: The final quality of the connection depends mostly on the host computer and its internet connection. If the host computer or its internet is weak, connection quality drops even when the guest computer’s conditions are good.

Quick troubleshooting

What should you check if the connection fails?

If you run into slowness, disconnections or a connection that won’t establish, check a few basics before making complex changes. In many cases the problem is the host’s internet, an old version of the app, a security restriction on the system or network settings.

  1. Make sure the app is open and running on both computers.
  2. Check the app version and, if needed, get the latest version from the download page.
  3. Check the host computer’s internet connection and system resources.
  4. Check security permissions, the firewall, antivirus and network settings.
  5. Double-check the ID and temporary password and make sure the connection details are correct.
